Good morning #KCRyders and a blessed Christmas season to you on this Christmas Eve! In this newly posted newspaper interview, The Ottawa Citizen sat down with our girl Ottawa-Native and Canadian songtress Keshia Chante, and talked about juggling her busy working life with boyfriend Chicago Blackhawks goalie, Ray Emery. For the first time ever in an interview she approaches the topic of marriage, not that she's getting married, but that it's something that the couple have been thinking about.

OTTAWA —
For Keshia Chanté, life is a balancing act.
The 23-year-old singer-songwriter from Ottawa is constantly on the go, juggling a schedule that doesn’t just include performing songs of her recently released third album, titled Night and Day. She also models, acts and works as an ambassador for the Canadian Foundation for AIDS Research (CANFAR).
And she still manages to find time in her busy schedule to maintain a relationship with her boyfriend of almost two years, former Ottawa Senators goaltender Ray Emery.
“Our communication is key,” says Chanté of her and Emery’s relationship. “Our understanding of where we want our relationship to go is always on the same page.”
Emery is currently playing with the Chicago Blackhawks. With Chanté living in Toronto and Emery based out of Chicago, and two busy and often conflicting schedules thrown in the mix, it would seem the couple would rarely find time to see each other.
“But we make it work,” says Chanté.
Before the start of hockey season, Chanté and Emery looked at his game schedule and circled the days they could spend together.
“Usually, I’m there when he’s home in Chicago, and I work while he’s away” she says. Chanté admits it’s a lot of travelling, but the flight from Toronto to Chicago is only 45 minutes.
The couple has been together for almost two years now. When asked about their future, Chanté says:
“Marriage is definitely something we are interested in. It just follows our belief system.”
But at the moment, Chanté wants to just take her life one step at a time. Step one for the young singer? Cooking Christmas dinner.
“I just moved into a new home in Toronto and I’ve invited my family and friends over for Christmas. It’s my first time cooking and hosting a big meal. Let’s hope it goes well!”
Oh and Ray will be there too for the home cooking.
